Overview

The Nava Tirupathi Tour is a spiritually enriching journey to the nine sacred temples of Lord Vishnu, collectively known as Nava Tirupathi. Located along the banks of the Tamirabarani River in Tirunelveli district, these temples hold immense significance as they are part of the 108 Divya Desams glorified by the Alwars. Each temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in different forms and is uniquely associated with the Navagrahas (nine planets), making this pilgrimage both a spiritual and astrological blessing. From the grandeur of Srivaikuntanathan Perumal Temple (Sun) to the serenity of Irattai Tirupathi (Rahu & Ketu), devotees are immersed in divine darshan, ancient rituals, and timeless Tamil Vaishnavite traditions. This sacred circuit is not just a pilgrimage but also a chance to explore Tamil Nadu’s heritage, devotion, and living culture.
